Donna and I had been good friends for a long time. We had shared many many hours of stories, We've gone to the casino, lunches, and I'd stop by the union office just to say hi to her on occasions. I loved Donna as my friend and her spunky attitude. Donna had so much love for her family. RIP friend.

Donna and I went to school and grew up in the west end. Lost touch when she moved and started going to Lewis Central.

Love you Donna. Donna was the main secretary for the Omaha Area Local American Postal Workers Union for the past 41 years. Services pending. She will be missed and never replaced. Donna and I have been close friends for at least the 25 years that Phil has been her boss and local president. I´m grateful she was able to be home with the help of hospice. Donna and I had a special friendship. We enjoyed many special moments since she had been sick. Quiet times in the middle of the night, while she was admitted at UNMC. I was able to comfort her when things got scary. I am grateful for our special bond.
